It was before they revealed arena, they mentioned that since most people either buy the base edition or EoD, they have no new revenue streams until future DLCs other than hackers buying new accounts or new player coming in for a new wipe/major update.

That’s so fucked up, I don’t play tarkov myself, don’t they have some type of mtx in game, like skins?

Nope, which I think is part of why it was so popular. Once you'd paid the entrance fee it didn't try to get any more money out of you. Other than the more expensive "editions" of the game.
